Bible Study Notes in Leviticus- Chapter 9

Leviticus 9

-Here we see the diligent preparation and obedient following
of the LORD’s instruction resulting in the demonstration of the LORD’s glory among
the people. Moses, Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel were called together
to perform these ordained sacrifices before the LORD in solemn array. The sin offering,
the burnt offering, the peace offering, the grain offering, and the wave offering
were all included for the sole purpose that the “glory of the LORD may appear (Leviticus
9:6, 23).” When He saw that they had complied with every one of His commands, He
appeared in fire as the human instruments (Moses and Aaron) came out from the tent
of meeting to bless the people. His consuming glory resounded upon them, and they
could do nothing more than shout and fall on their faces in worship, stunned and
astounded.

-*Application* When God calls us, He will have specific instructions
for us to carry out. Patience and diligence will be required. It’s a step by step
process. Don’t get lazy in the instruction phase. Submission to every detail ensures
the appearing of His glory in your life and ministry. Do you want people to be astounded
and give all praise to your King when they see what He is doing through you? Take
care of the daily routines and procedures that will cultivate faithfulness and dependency
upon the Almighty. He will appear! Don’t side step the everyday duty to obey.
